IML: Black California Plates

["Geoff Fors" <wb6nvh@xxxxxxxx>]

I hate to beat this subject to death, but...

About 10 years ago I tried to get updated registration on a black-plate car
which had been off the books for just a few years, and they made me get new
plates.  I spent a month bickering with them and even went as far as
contacting my state senator, and also got a personal response from the DMV
director himself advising me that this was not possible.  I too had the
title, plates and most recent registration in hand.  I was informed by the
director that if I knew of any DMV employees "building titles" by re-issuing
registration on expired black plates, they would be very interested to know
about it because it was a violation of the rules.

Maybe they have gotten more liberal in recent years.  I sold that car and
don't care anymore, but looks like I certainly got the shaft on that one!
